They left no trace behind. The only reason they were well known in the country was because of their kidnapping tactic. They would only kidnap teenage girls, and return them back to the area they were first kidnapped from three days later with a red four written on their hand with a permanent marker. What confused the police even more was that the girls kidnapped would have no memory about the kidnapping. It was like they had never even been kidnapped.
They could be anyone, and that’s what scared the public most. The kidnappings stopped when Lena Winters was kidnapped. She was never returned three days later. She was never seen again.
I am Lena Winters.
